While this series starts off a tad slow, by this point I was hooked on the characters. A classic shoujo that stands the test of time and proof the genre is maligned as trivial stories for young girls. Mature storytelling with a dash of feminism and class criticism saturated in swirling petals and cascading curly hair. Not to mention the sprinkling of queerness throughout. Oscar forever.
